CYA House Softball offers spring (March-June) and fall (September-November) seasons. Teams play both internal and external games. Our focus is on providing girls with a fun, inclusive experience that emphasizes sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork. All girls, regardless of skill level, have the opportunity to play in every game.

CYA Softball follows the USA Softball rules for age grouping. Age groups are based on the child's age as of August 31 for the Fall and following Spring season.
